Am I tall yet?

I want to share a thing I'm trying in case anyone else wants to try it with me. I'm calling it a "doing book" because the idea is that it's a book where I just _do_.

Call your house rep and tell them to support HB 2540 which will increase the amount disabled people can save from $2k to $10k and remove the marriage penalty where you lose your only source of income if you get married regardless of how little they make. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

I finally got sharable versions of this uploaded This is my headcanon/AU version of Mu Qingfang. He's from a universe where PIDW had a small but enthusiastic following of American lesbians, so his universe is a bit more chill #svsss #mxtx #illustration #art #fanart art.kalany.org/Mu_Qingfang_...

Put together a Shortcuts program to make old style memes entirely for the purpose of this image

First art of the new year: Luo Binghe. #svsss #art #fanart #mxtx fandom.kalany.org/art/Luo_Bing... This one is from an AU but I think it isn't too far off standard vanilla svsss flavor Binghe.

I forgot today was Election Day, so Kita helped me pick who to vote for and made sure I filled out my ballot properly.

comphet is a hell of a drug

The innkeeper isn't the bad guy in the story, he's a *good guy* in the story. He *doesn't have room in his inn* and then *finds a spot for Mary anyway*. And this act of kindness is why Jesus is born in a manger -- warm, dry, safe, surrounded by people that love him -- instead of out in the desert

Except he *doesn't* say that. He sees this lady who is absolutely about to pop and says, "ah, shit, I don't have any room in the inn, but I'll find a spot for you." He doesn't know this is the Savior of the World, he thinks it's just a scrubby pregnant lady and her boyfriend.

This is "I know that Jesus is a magic demigod, and the important thing is to show God the respect that he deserves", but actually the story of the Nativity is, "I don't know who this stranger is, but I can see they need help, and I'm going to be compassionate whether he deserves it or not."

I'm looking for an artist for a set of lineart commissions for May/June 2026. I'm looking for someone who can do medieval marginalia or Renaissance woodcut style illustrations of Robin Hood doing feats of daring-do. It's for kids to color, hence the B&W. Style inspo/ideas below.

New term: Mozillafication. Rhymes with Enshittification and means almost the same thing, except the people in charge also insist it's all open-source so clearly you can configure your own preferences, you just need three years' commercial software development experience.

Just saw this on Reddit:

Librewolf is a Firefox fork with tighter default security and access to all the extensions. No profile/bookmark sync though. I’d be very surprised if it followed Mozilla with this nonsense.

Hey hey, I posted a new #fanvid! #niehuaisang enjoyers, step right up! #cql #mdzs archiveofourown.org/works/75854216

Can all the folk who just got reminded that they’ve listened to a tonne of music on streaming this year, have a look at the music they heard and buy some on bandcamp today? 🫡🙏🏼

can't imagine being like "democrat shutdown? not us, no, trump shutdown" and then after 6 weeks be like actually!!!! yeah it was us, we got nothing in exchange for the UNFATHOMABLE FUCKING SUFFERING of a protracted shutdown but only thing democrats hate more than losing elections is winning them

Always thinking of you, ya freaks

My first go at painting on xuan paper (Chinese rice paper) #MDZS #TheUntamed #art #FanArt #WangXian #watercolor art.kalany.org/Ignoring_pai...

I firmly believe the only tack to center Dems need is in arguments, not policy. In addition, say, to "healthcare is a human right," let's add "employer coverage keeps you stuck in bad jobs; universal healthcare makes it easier to tell your bad boss to stuff it."

Did my democracy for the day

You know what would be a great value-add for a pharmacy? A service where they'll lightly mist your pills with food coloring on each side before bottling them. I sometimes halve all three of these, and man that would make it so much easier to tell them apart

I wish him a joyful funeral and a very long rest. God willing, he will have been one of a kind, never to be equaled.

I hated Spotify before it was cool 😎

Riding public transit taught _me_ that the vast majority of abled people are fine with personally injuring me if it gets them to their train 0.2s faster, and driving a car taught me that slowing down a little means everyone can be safe, but I guess that's why we talk about intersectionality

From the Larchives: The Rocky Horus Picture Scroll. One of my favorite works. I had the assistance of an Egyptology PhD student to translate the Time Warp phonetically. Enjoy :)

It ought to be fully legal AND expected for patients to audio or video record their entire medical visit once they're in a private clinic/treatment room (ie away from other patients), even without their doctor's knowledge or consent. The power differential is too damn high.

Puberty delay should be universally available to kids under 14 who want a couple more years before they have to deal with it.

I got my NSFW preview thingie working and this is still one of my favorite sketches, so here, have some #BingQiu waking up in a pleasant way. #SVSSS #art #sex #oralsex #NSFW art.kalany.org/BingQiu_blow...

My wish for 2026 is that everyone stops evaluating charities by how "nice" they seem and instead by one simple metric: how fast can you find how to apply for their aid? And does it seem like it actually addresses the need they claim to be trying to meet? Is it proportional to their fundraising?

Doing my part for art by 'shading pictures with keywords like "sex" and "chiaroscuro"

This is censorship. Full stop. There is no law against drawing these things, only the tendency of Bsky to think it's icky. And I know what it's like to have my art pulled for being "icky." Solidarity with pornographers. I'm not joking. We are siblings and we need to act like it.

An older picture of Kara for #caturday. #cat #CatsOfBluesky #SkyCats?? That sounds like a 90s cartoon

There's something lovely about the human tendency to go "we almost got blown up! How should we commemorate our survival? "… I know! Food, alcohol, and high explosives! They didn't blow us up, let's see if we're any better at it!"

They say that the rule is cha if by land, ti if by sea, but my new 茶 came by air … 🤔

Sometimes I see all these posts about "read this to learn how bad it is!" and it's like, no. Just no. I don't need to know how bad it is. I know it's bad. I don't need more Doom And Doomier—I'm a disabled queer trans AFAB person who can't work, _I know it's bad_

I've been feeling the need to do some visual art this week after spending several months mostly writing and translating. So, more Fat Shizun Agenda art! A quiet snuggle between friends. Friends, yes, definitely just friends, stop snickering Qinghua. #svsss #art #fanart #snuggle #FatShizunAgenda

Continuing with the fat Shizun agenda, here is a kind of quick painting of my AU's Action Shizun mid-leap, about to put the hurt on some demons who got aggressive (not Binghe, who is just off-page to camera left) #svsss #fanart #TransShenYuan #FatShizunAgenda #art

Vaccines truly becoming to disease what providing housing is to houselessness - we all know it works, improves lives and saves money but we need the misery for other people to feel luckier than.

There is a man listening to a podcast about Trump on his phone so loudly it's painful, and he's across the waiting room. Today is not a good day for humans

Raising children is difficult, and I've never had any, so I try not to judge. But. I just had my feet wet-coughed on / dry-heaved at by a crawling infant whose parent was 15 feet away. I am wearing my respirator, which I would hope signals medical fragility. Please contain your child.
